How to: The giving partner kneels in front of the receiving partner, who is standing upright (their back can be against a wall if desired). Then, with one of the receiver’s legs draped around the giver’s shoulder, they orally stimulate their partner.

Benefits: For starters, it’s pure pleasure for the receiver. “Many people with vulvas say oral sex is one of their most reliable routes to orgasm,” says Mintz. And for those with a penis, this position sets the scene for a mind-blowing blowjob.

Plus, this position introduces an exciting power dynamic with the giver is in a submissive position and the receiver in a dominant position. If you want to play around with those power dynamics, the receiver can have their hands tied and hold them above their head. (Just make sure you both consent and agree on a safe word before engaging in any bondage play!)

Pro tip: “This position can be visually erotic for both partners but can present some sustainability challenges for both the giver and receiver,” says Balestrieri. “To help ease pain or discomfort, partners can place a non-slip mat or yoga mat under the giver’s knees and the receiver’s standing foot, creating more comfort and traction for stability.”
